A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"It's yours! Your child!"

“…” Bray looked at Naruko with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

“It’s definitely yours! Only you…” Naruko said, pointing at Bray with a straight face.

"I absolutely will not let you wear a hat! So this child is definitely yours!"

“…” Upon hearing this, Bray’s face darkened.

"Feel it! Isn't it bulging?" Naruko grabbed Bree's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"..." Bray remained expressionless as Naruko did as she pleased.

The girl's belly was surprisingly soft... but it could also be because she had too many abdominal muscles.

"Ah, our child, the fruit of our love."

Naruko imagined what her future children would look like.

Are there other guys with dead fish eyes like this? No, no, no, I heard that Bray was originally a pretty sunny and handsome guy.

That child must have an incredibly cheerful personality; she certainly doesn't want her child to have dead fish eyes.

Naruko cupped her slightly flushed cheeks, lost in her fantasies.

"I think you've eaten too much," Bray said calmly, intending to shatter the woman's unfounded fantasies.

"Nonsense, he's clearly a child." Naruko slapped Bray's hand away in disgust.

"Sigh..." Bray sighed helplessly.

"Bray, Bray," Levy called out in a soft, sweet voice.

"What's wrong?" Ignoring Naruko's daydreaming, Bray responded softly.

"Has Naruko gone mad?" Levy rolled over and looked at Naruko with a puzzled expression.

“She’s always been stupid,” Bray said calmly.

"Who are you calling stupid?! You dead-eyed bastard!"

“I’m talking about you,” Bray retorted calmly.

"I'll go find Father Thun to verify this!"

"Don't come crying and begging me to touch the baby!" Naruko said angrily as she stormed out of the house.

"What did she do today?" Is she having a teenage crush? But Naruko can hardly be considered a teenage girl anymore; she's over twenty.

Naruko is only a year or two younger than him.

“Naruko ran away,” Levy said, craning her neck.

“Well, let’s wait for her to come back. Is it okay if we eat a little later?” Bray tried asking Levy.

"Sure~" Levy replied readily.

Levy is truly an angel; look at Naruko, she's so unreliable.

"Smack smack, are you going to eat later?" Xiao You asked while eating.

"..." Bree looked at Xiao You speechlessly. Sure enough, she still wanted to see a cold, silent, and polite woman with long, straight black hair.

Instead of a silly dragon.

"Sister, sister, if you want to eat it, I'll make it for you now, okay?" Xiaoxue stroked Xiaoyou's face and said in a doting tone.

Who is the older sister really?

Speaking of which, isn't Xiaoxue's sister complex a bit too severe, to the point that it's almost creepy?

"No need, let's just wait for Naruko to come back." Naruko is, after all, the teacher appointed by Grandma Nicololas, so we should wait a bit before having a meal.

"Then I'll massage your shoulders~" Xiaoxue said and started massaging Xiaoyou's shoulders on her own, looking very happy.

"..." Bray wondered if he should try to stop Xiaoxue's condition from worsening.

But he had a premonition that if he tried to stop it, things would turn out badly.

Let's just pretend we didn't see it; after all, this mess is something Nick Bolas should be handling himself.

After all, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyou are His elders. Dragons should handle their own family matters; He resolutely refuses to take on this responsibility.

"Waaaaah!!!" After an hour or two, Naruko finally returned, but she came back crying.

The way she was wailing and crying was heartbreaking to see.

"I just ate too much! Waaah! My child!" Naruko wiped away her tears with both hands.

But the tears flowed faster than they could be wiped away.

Before long, her face became smeared.

"Father! Am I pregnant?!"

"No, you just ate too much and haven't digested it. How much did you eat?"

The harsh reality caused Naruko to freeze on the spot, not even hearing the priest's last words.

"You eat so much but haven't gained weight; you must get a lot of exercise," the priest remarked.

"What do I do?! Aaaaaaah!"

"I told you long ago, you've been eating too much."

“You dead fish eyes, you idiot Bray!” she began to curse Bray incoherently.

“…” Bray’s lips twitched, but he did not retaliate.

"Waaah!" The way she cried was just like a child.

“Levy, come down,” Bray said, patting Levy on the back.

Upon hearing this, Levy climbed off Bray's lap.

"Dead fish eyes!! I want my baby..." Naruko cried and rushed over.

That's why Bray let Levy leave early.

"I can't give it to you." Bree was speechless, but he didn't dodge and let Naruko jump into his arms.

“I really want a child.” Naruko choked back tears, and the sound of her sobbing... touched Bray slightly.

"real."

“…” Bray closed his right eye and didn’t say much, just held Naruko in his arms.

He honestly said he had never hugged this idiot like that before.

"Are you an idiot?" Seriously, what a silly reason for crying.

"No, that's not it," Naruko replied, sobbing. Hello everyone~ I'm Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue as in Xiaoxue, Xue as in Xiaoxue.

Although I find this self-introduction strange, since my sister says it's the correct way to introduce myself, then there's nothing to be confused about.

As Sister Xiaoyou also said, this method was taught to Him by Naruko.

If I had to say how I'd like to introduce myself, it would be that "Xiao" refers to Xiao You, and "Xue" refers to Xiao You's younger sister, Xiao Xue.

Grandma Nicolaes deliberately had my older sister learn from Naruko, so I'll call her teacher for now.

That's a pretty good way to introduce yourself.

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what happened to Ms. Naruko today. She started out overjoyed, but then she threw herself into Mr. Bray's arms and burst into tears.

I feel like she's a very emotional person.

Ah, no, forget about everyone else, what I really want to talk about is my sister, my dearest sister.

Her long, black hair was as beautiful as the starry sky, and her delicate face exuded a cool and aloof aura.

What reason do I have not to be obsessed with my sister?

My original image was too immature and not worthy of my sister, so I decided to change it to this image.

Her dignified and gentle demeanor is just like that of a family-oriented wife.

My sister likes herself this way too, she must like it a lot, she absolutely loves it.

Sister Xiaoyou, really, with such a strong gaze, Xiaoxue won't be able to stand it.

I feel so stupid for my past self. Such a beautiful and perfect older sister has always been by my side, and I didn't even realize it.

After leaving Longshan and encountering all sorts of people and things, I suddenly realized how perfect my sister was.

The lower-level species are one thing, but what's with those older silver-level species? They're all so pathetic, lacking any dignity or even semblance of propriety.

No, none of them are qualified or meet my standards.

I only have one person on my mind, and that's my older sister.

I want to take care of my sister, I want to snuggle up to my sister, and I want to hear my sister's voice every moment.

Sister~ Xiaoxue will always be your little sister who admires you.

Strangely enough, neither Mr. Bray, nor Ms. Naruko, nor even Rei seemed to notice Xiaoyou's charm.

It's such a shame. I always try to recommend Sister Xiaoyou to them, but I always fail.

It's okay. If you fail once, there will be another time. One day you will move them and let them know how good Sister Xiaoyou is.

"Tap tap tap tap," Xiaoxue skillfully beat the eggs with an egg beater, the sound of egg liquid mixing and the sound of metal colliding intertwined.

Xiaoxue tied her long, snow-white hair into a braid and draped it over one shoulder.

This is a rather dangerous hairstyle for married women.

Although Bray had told Xiaoxue that the hairstyle seemed a bit dangerous, he didn't take it seriously.

Furthermore, setting aside the hairstyle, is it strange that a silver-tier dragon is laying eggs? Of course not!

Xiaoxue has a thousand simpler ways to beat eggs than this primitive method. But she doesn't.

Only what He personally strikes with His claws can truly reveal His will.

Using concepts or anything like that will result in an egg that has no soul.

He would personally cook delicious food for Xiaoyou, and except for lunch and dinner when He used the kitchen, He would occupy the rest of the time.

Occasionally, she would also cook lunch or dinner for Bray.

After beating the eggs, Xiaoxue completed the remaining cooking steps in one go.

"Alright, let's have dinner now," Xiaoxue said with a gentle smile to everyone in the hall.

"Dinner's ready..." Naruko stammered, still nestled in Bray's arms.

"Go away." After seeing that Naruko had stopped crying, Bray said disdainfully.

"Hey... let me hug you one more time."

"Let's eat," Bray said expressionlessly.

"Whoa..." Naruko shrank her neck. Her intuition told her that if she kept lingering, Bray would hit her with the hilt of his sword.

"Levy, you're still the best." To avoid getting beaten up, Naruko quickly retreated and then picked up a bewildered Levy.

"Hmm?" Levy tilted her head. She had originally planned to rush to the dining table to eat, but Naruko picked her up instead.

"Mmm..." She didn't want to be lifted up high; she just wanted to climb onto the dining table.

Levy's legs kept swinging, but unfortunately she wasn't tall enough to resist once she was lifted up QAQ.

"What are you doing, you idiot?" Bray snatched Levy back from Naruko and placed her on the dining table.

"Brave~ Let's eat~" Upon seeing the food in front of her, Levy put away her confused expression and put on a cute smile 0V0.

"Hmm." Bray said, pressing Naruko back down at the table.

“…” Naruko stiffened her expression, just like Levy’s 0V0, and was even trembling.

The intense pressure she exerted on Bray was so strong that she'd probably die if she caused any more trouble.

Of course, neither Xiaoyou nor Xiaoxue sensed the eerie atmosphere permeating the air.
